Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast

Succotash Epi75.5: Drivin' My Life Away

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

A funny
thing happened on the way to Epi76. I had a trip scheduled to Los
Angeles to take part in an annual card game with a bunch of
friends. So I haven't had a chance to finish putting the next
episode of Succotash together.

But there
I was, tooling down Interstate 5 in the middle of the night. Pulled
over to gas up and checked my email, Facebook and Twitter feeds.
And @HarryHumorNY had tweeted, wondering if I was going to record
another rambling "halfisode" from the road. So I did.

And here
it is. Just me, talking to myself (and you) as I speed through the
night. No clips. No Tweetsack.

See you
soon with Epi76, which will feature many clips from comedy podcasts
along with my chat with Chris Mancini, co-organizer of the Los
Angeles Podcast Festical and co-host of the Comedy Film
Nerds podcast.
